Obama is accepting any and all donations, no questions asked!

I have been researching, documenting and studying thousands upon thousands of Obama’s campaign donations for the past month. Egregious abuse was immediately evident and I published the results of my ongoing investigation. Each subsequent post built a more damning case against Obama’s illegal contribution activity.

The media took little notice of what I was substantiating. I went so far as to upload the documents so that anyone could do their own research. I asked readers to download the documents and a number of folks pitched in.

Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of “Palestinian” brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama’s campaign, no big media picked up the story. Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? Could there be a bigger story? Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The “Palestinian” brothers were proud and vocal of their “love” for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of “Palestinians” spoke volumes to Obama’s campaign.

And yet still no media.

Where is the outrage?????
Where is the FEC????
Where is the McCain attack team????

This is a legitimate accusation against him and his campaign.

In my youth early technical career, I was sent out to a rig in the gulf to monitor one of the first drilling mud flow computers in the world. My company designed and built it for Flour Inc. As an Engineering Tech. I actually did a lot of the assembly and testing of the main electronics gear, so I was a logical pick to go. It was the best one month vacation I had ever had. The computer performed flawlessly, so I had a lot of time to fish. It was a Exxon rig and the Engineer I was working with told me to bring my fishing gear. We both caught an enormous amount of just about any Gulf fish you can imagine. The Cook was glad to clean and prepare all of it. It was all fresh and absolutely delicious. That was in the ’60s.

The mud flow computer measured drilling mud going into the well being drilled and measured the flow coming out. If they were close to equal after straining out the chips, all was well. If there was a serious loss in volume it indicated some porosity in the bore. They had mud additives to plug that loss. If the volume coming out suddenly increased, the BOP ( Blow Out Preventer) was activated automatically and they had time to do measurements and adjust mud density to balance the pressure rise.

That was just one advance that made drilling offshore safer and environmentally safer.

The following link is a series of posts put together by a person who knows the subject of OCS drilling intimately.

We really need to push Govt. to hold off on all of the Warming Panic legislation. Here is another article explaining global climate changes.

But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”

With the economy being so iffy, we can’t afford to make one hell of a big mistake. We have actually cooled 0.6 C° since 2001.

Foxnews has an article in which black pastors are accusing Planned Parenthood of targeting blacks moreso than whites. They base this on the fact that the founder of Planned Parenthood was a believer in eugenics, the fact that blacks are given abortions at about five times the rate of whites, and the fact that Planned Parenthood is willing to target blacks for “services” if overtly racist donors ask them to.

Just follow this link to see all the details for yourself.

Below, I have excerpted a few paragraphs from the above link, and added some bold for myself. Both the excerpt and the entire article are worth a quick read.

Sanger, a pioneering advocate for universal access to birth control for women, was also a proponent of “eugenics,” a philosophy that advocates social intervention, like birth control and abortion, for “improving” the hereditary traits of the human race. According to biographies written about Sanger, who was the sixth child of 11 eleven born to a rigid Catholic family in upstate New York, her support for this practice was focused on the “unfit” and the poor — slum dwellers — as they were called at the time, by making contraceptives more available there.

Over the years, comments made by Sanger about reproduction among the poor and minorities have led to her reputation as a racist and a belief that she wanted to “weed” out blacks from society. Planned Parenthood has disputed that caricature and has pointed out her supporters in the black community, including Martin Luther King Jr., and W.E.B DuBois. Nevertheless, Childress and others repeatedly invoked her name as a major force behind a century-long “genocide” on the black community.

According to a report released by the group of Students for Life America on Tuesday, black women are 4.8 times more likely to have an abortion than white women, while the black population in the U.S. is in decline. Black women account for 36 percent of those having abortions in the U.S. today, according to group, while black children make up 17 percent of live births.

“Contrary to the public’s belief that Planned Parenthood is helpful and supportive of family planning and the health of the mother and child, recent news and research show that the roots of its foundation have continued to give birth to continual hatred and disdain for minorities that its founder saw as ‘unfit,’” the group says in its report.

In its response, Planned Parenthood emphasized that 97 percent of its services are focused on providing contraceptives, breast and cervical cancer screenings and sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment — not abortions.

What does the bolded part mean? Well, it means that as long as you get birth control pills for three years, the one month you have an abortion keeps their averages just as shown. That’s right, they average an abortion once every three years for each client they have. That’s just plain ol’ math.

Planned Parenthood should be referred to as an abortion advocate, not as anything else. Their agenda is obvious, and their means of achieving it is also obvious: killing babies, and doing it before they are born.

For those of you following the latest action in Iraq, You know that the GoI has been going after the Sadr criminals. This is a first test of the IA, IP and ISF. They did well, with a little help from our air support. They are definitely learning. The following is from Pajammas Media by Mohammed from Iraq The Model. (Same article)

Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki has been presented with a golden opportunity to build on political cohesion and bolster the rule of law by dismantling the Mahdi Army.

I think what encouraged Maliki to push the limits of the conflict to this unprecedented level was the first-of-a-kind success of the Political Council for National Security — an entity that includes the president, PM, and leaders of major parliamentary blocs — to reach consensus on a decision. This entity managed for the first time a week ago to overcome the impotence that had halted its mission since its inception. Evidence of the newfound potency of this entity is that Ayad Allawi, who had refused being part of it for a long time, is now sending delegates to negotiate terms for his membership.

I think that the tipping point has been reached. The Iraqis have intelligent, educated leaders who know we may not be there in a couple years. They read our news feeds and really do fear that the Dems will force our military to abandon them sooner than later.

Lets hope reason rules.

Here is a source of information on the top Iraqi leaders.

Leaders

They all seem to be well educated and experienced.

This is the real holdup in getting the fences built. The PC mentality in congress.

Residents and property owners along the U.S.-Mexico border have complained about the construction of fencing. In South Texas, where opposition has been widespread, land owners refused to give the government access to property along the fence route.

The government has since sued more than 50 property owners in South Texas to gain access to the land.

Environmentalists have also complained about the fence because they say it puts already endangered species such as two types of wild cats - the ocelot and the jaguarundi - in even more danger of extinction. They say the fence would prevent them from swimming across the Rio Grande to mate.

Chertoff has said the fence is good for the environment because immigrants degrade the land with trash and human waste when they sneak illegally into the country.

Bush has not really had anything to do with the delays as is apparent now.

Here is some important information about the latest doings of the cyber criminals. I am seriously thinking about encrypting my most private files.

Criminals who seize control of tens of thousands of home and office computers through what are known as “botnets” are a dramatically growing threat, Shawn Henry, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, tells Newsmax.

Besides technical precautions like using antivirus programs, spyware protection programs, and firewall programs and keeping them updated, Henry advises computer users to think of the Internet as they would a dangerous neighborhood where their personal safety may be threatened.

Once a computer is compromised, a criminal can retrieve any information from that computer. A computer user may have no clue that his computer has been compromised. Or the victim may notice slower response times or a cursor that is erratic.

Read the article.

I have been using Spyware Doctor and Norton Internet Security, including their Anti-Virus and more robust Firewall. I have had no problems recently, however, My computer was infected with a keyllogger Trojan a while back that had me puzzled for a while because it would grab 100% of CPU time for a few seconds at a time.

I did a full scan and found the booger and got rid of it.

There are several good firewall programs and virus programs available for free, or almost free, so cost should not be an issue.

If you have not secured your computer, you need to.

Of course, I’m talking about high-quality software.

As many of our long-time readers know, I write software on occasion. Because of this, I am a real stickler when it comes to intellectual property and property rights that come from there. Recently, I’ve been working on two new projects, and I’ve been using two new, and free, tools that have really opened my eyes.

The first one up is OpenOffice. OpenOffice is a freeware suite similar to the large Seattle company’s suite of office products. The main difference? About $300. OpenOffice is free, and can be downloaded for windows by clicking on this link. You can find the “flavor” you want by looking around.

I am currently using it to convert existing learning content to SCORM-compliant content using the eLAIX extension, which is also free. It is amazing how good some of the free offerings are.

OpenOffice is easy to use, and does just about everything you would want it to do. I’m sure there is some kind of function that you might want to do on the pricier “commercial” equivalent, but that’s going to be few and far between. Let your company provide you with the pricy one on their machines. Get this one for home, and use it to open the office documents as well. That’s right, it provides a LARGE list of import and export formats, including those formats that you would be most familiar with.

Don’t take my word for it… here’s a review by a “reputable” review company. The review is old, but so is the version. Right now, OpenOffice is available as version 2.3. The review is for version 2.0, so the latest available is three releases after the glowing review.

The second offering up is “Ilias.” Ilias is a Learning Management System (LMS), and one of the main reasons I’m writing this article. LMS’s are not for everyone’s use. In fact, if you are not associated with training or education in some way, then it is mostly useless to you. Why am I telling you about it, then?

Money.

My company (me) investigated several commercial alternatives for LMS’s and, frankly, I wasn’t impressed. The abilities and capabilities of the software were actually several months out of date, and the prices… well… the word “astronomical” comes to mind. The cheapest alternative I could find cost over $100,000. That’s US Dollars. And it still had an annual “maintenance fee,” as well as “training and consulting costs” associated with it.

This weekend, after about a month of preparation, I got the LMS up and running on a server. Right now, the server is mostly bare bones, but it IS working. There is no content yet, much like many public schools (all building, no class - sorry, I couldn’t resist the jab). But the system is functional and running. My cost? $200. That’s actually rounded UP.

$35 - two years web name registration with privacy (I know I could have a smaller figure, but this was the BEST option, overall)

$60 - three months of root server access. This allows me to mess around with some files that you can’t get to on hosted servers

$80 - consulting fees for the Linux, etc., setup

I’m thinking that I’m way ahead here. Why did I have to do this on my own? IT didn’t like freeware. I’d love to go over their machines and see just how many free ftp, ssh, and other communications and similar programs THEY have. But they didn’t have the time, so I did it myself.

What else is out there? I use a freeware program to grab screen areas (screenripper). I use freeware to fix my registry (regfix). I have used freeware virus scanners, but most of them are just come-on’s to get you to buy their product.

I also have quite a few shareware programs that I’ve paid for. The one I use the most is probably WiseFTP, which allows me to up and download files on my websites. I would suppose there are quite a few others, as well, but I suggest you look online before coughing up the money to buy something on your own.

If you’re interested in a particular type of application, let me know. I’ll do a quick scan, and see what the internet has to offer.

And if I can’t find something, I can always write it myself, although usually I just buy a cheap, but working version.

One caveat, though, is to be careful about junkware and trojans. Always use a scanner before downloading anything, read any reviews (beware of authors reviewing their own stuff), and see if a trial version is available before buying it.

All of the above having been said, I probably have $20,000 worth of NOT-free software, as well. I like free stuff, but some of the commercial stuff is just about irreplaceable.

Well, folks, the boss finally gave me time (two whole days!) to sit down and write some code. What I’ve got so far:

Secure login working
File browsing and selecting (but not uploading) working
Video player working
Image viewer working

Now, all I need to do is get the uploading working, and you should all expect to receive a “special” email from me, if you’re interested. It will allow you to upload and link pictures or video here in your comments or posts.

Pretty cool, huh? I’m having a good time. Stand by for more to come.

I had been wanting to put this up for a while, but hesitated until I saw the antics of Bill and Hill the last couple days.

Even if you don’t agree, I have known/worked for/worked with several. Try the test on a few of your suspects. Bill is clearly a psychopath.

From DamnInteresting.com

“I don’t think I feel things the same way you do.”

The man sits at the table in the well-fitted attire of success—charming, witty, and instantly likeable. He is a confident, animated speaker, but he seems to be struggling with this particular point.

“It’s like… at my first job,” he continues, “I was stealing maybe a thousand bucks a month from that place. And this kid, he was new, he got wise. And he was going to turn me in, but before he got the chance I went to the manager and pinned the whole thing on him.” Now he is grinning widely. “Kid lost his job, the cops got involved, I don’t know what happened to him. And I guess something like that is supposed to make me feel bad, right? It’s supposed to hurt, right? But instead, it’s like there’s nothing.” He smiles apologetically and shakes his head. “Nothing.”

His name is Frank, and he is a psychopath.

In the public imagination, a “psychopath” is a violent serial killer or an over-the-top movie villain, as one sometimes might suspect Frank to be. He is highly impulsive and has a callous disregard for the well-being of others that can be disquieting. But he is just as likely to be a next-door neighbor, a doctor, or an actor on TV—essentially no different from anyone else who holds these roles, except that Frank lacks the nagging little voice which so profoundly influences most of our lives. Frank has no conscience. And as much as we would like to think that people like him are a rare aberration, safely locked away, the truth is that they are more common than most would ever guess.

Read the whole article and see the “Test”.

Gore is probably described also.

An excellent post on Reagan and his role in bringing down the Soviet Union. No wonder Putin is still pissed. This is one worth saving.

The Kremlin’s Really Bad Month: March 1983

UPDATE:

Here is Ann Coulter’s article.

The Moon will turn an eerie shade of red for people in the western hemisphere late Wednesday and early Thursday, recreating the eclipse that saved Christopher Columbus more than five centuries ago.

In a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth and Moon are directly aligned and the Moon swings into the cone of shadow cast by the Earth.

Read about it here.

Update: Here is NASA’s summary.

Here is a diagram for our time zone.

It is not past most of our bedtimes. Hope it is not cloudy.

This is entirely true!

People are most likely to become depressed in middle age, according to a worldwide study of happiness. The team of economists leading the work found that we are happiest towards the beginning and end of our lives, leaving us most miserable in middle years between 40 and 50.

The results, published in the journal Social Science & Medicine, showed that people’s levels of happiness followed a U-shaped curve, a pattern that was remarkably consistent in the vast majority of countries the researchers looked at, from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe.

For both men and women in the UK, the probability of depression peaked at around the age of 44. In the US, men were most likely to be unhappiest at 50, while for women the age was 40.

The worst time in my life was in my late 40’s and early 50’s. CONOCO, the company that I faithfully worked for for 15 years forced me and several other near 50/over 50 Engineers to retire early. I felt like I was finally hitting my knowledge and experience peak. All they could see was that we as a group made too much money, so that was a tough time.

Any of you in the bottom of the”U”?

Omar and Mohammed have resurfaced after several months of silence. They are in the US going for their advanced degrees. I have been following them since Saddam was deposed.

Hello my friends! We feel terrible about not writing anything all this time.
Mohammed and I are both doing fine, I’m doing fine at school as well, my grades from the first semester weren’t exactly impressive but I’m quite satisfied given it was the first semester and I had to adjust to a completely new system.

Iraq the Model

I am glad their lives are moving forward.

To whom it may concern:

From the news reports of the first few primaries this presidential season, I see that it is being reported that the GOP voter is not as energized as the Democrat party voter, and that donations to democrats are coming in at a faster pace than they are coming in to the GOP coffers.

Apparently, those of you in power are at a loss as to why this is happening. After all, the current crop of GOP presidential candidates are no worse than the democratic corollary, so that can’t be it.

Let me explain it to you. Please bear with me as I elucidate the key points.

In 1994, Newt and company gave us a Contract with America, where you and they promised to bring ten important items to a vote if we put you in charge. You brought them to a vote, and passed a few of them. Although we really wanted all them to be passed, we allowed you the explanation that all you had done was promised to vote on them, not to pass them.

In fact, we liked this so much, we figured that having the GOP in charge of the whole Congress while the Bill “the Great Prevaricator” Clinton was president would be a good thing. This being so, we, the American people, put the GOP in charge of the Senate, as well.

So far, things were going pretty well for all of us. In fact, we even privately were thinking that this was the end of the democratic party altogether.

To butcher an old movie title, “a funny thing happened on the way to permanent GOP control.”

For some reason, once the GOP had the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, something happened. They stopped being conservative. They started spending like drunken sailors. They started paying off cronies, stealing, cheating, and everything that the democrats had been doing.

We should have seen this coming. When Bill Clinton perjured himself, the GOP wouldn’t convict him. Now, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m pretty sure that anyone else who was caught lying in court would be convicted. Why wasn’t Clinton convicted? Because the GOP had become democrats.

And now, we have one of the worst offenders, John McCain, as a possible front runner in the presidential nomination process.

Why is this? Have the voters from the 1990’s gone away? Are we no longer conservative?

Quite the opposite. YOU, the GOP, are the one who is no longer conservative, and us conservatives have stopped supporting you. We will no longer vote for the “lesser of two evils.” We will no longer vote for you, because “they” are worse.

We want conservatives. We want people who want to do what’s right for America, not what’s right for them and their friends.

Give us what we ask for, and we’ll come out in droves. We’ll send you more money. We’ll get you back in power.

As it is, though, we’ll probably stay home or skip the box. We figure that letting you get unelected is the easiest way to put a conservative in your place. Even if it means four or eight years of Obama or Mrs. Bill.

You did this to yourselves. You are the one to blame.

See the level of support and passion that Dan Patrick got from his constituents. He won in a veritable landslide. That’s because he is a conservative, and did what he said he would do. He’s going to win in a landslide, again.

Look at Shelley Sekula Gibbs. She is not a conservative, and the voters are not as passionate about her, nor will she win with as big a majority.

Just open your eyes, and clean the horse stall that the GOP has become. We’re waiting for you to change BACK to what we support.

Best regards,
An ex-GOP voter, who’d like to be one once again
